The Missouri State Fair is proud once again to partner with Missouri Farmers Care in the Drive to Feed Kids campaign.

In 2017, Missouri Farmers Care Launched the Drive to Feed Kids, which is an effort to combat childhood hunger. Their efforts, along with Feeding Missouri, the Missouri State Fair, Missouri FFA, Brownfield Ag News and Monstanto, provided 52,000 nutritious meals and 9,000 pounds of food donations to Missouri hungry children. The 2017 drive also raised more than $146,000 for Feeding Missouri.

Can Creation Contest, sponsored by Woods Supermarket
11-1 pm, Agriculture Building
Teams of agriculture youth will be given 2 hours to create a themed sculpture out of canned food. Sculptures will stay on display until the final day of the Fair. The cans, provided by Woods Supermarket, will be donated after the Fair to Feeding Missouri.

Missouri Farmers Care is a joint effort by Missouri’s farming and agriculture community to stand together for the men and women who provide the food and jobs on which our communities depend. The Drive to Feed Kids is being managed by the Missouri Farmers Care Foundation, a 501(c)3 tax-exempt public charity.
